Iran, China And Lebanon Are Teams To Beat!

But don't count out Gilas.

That is Gilas coach Rajko Toroman's message to all Pinoy basketball fans who are eagerly awaiting the upcoming FIBA Asia Championships.



Gilas is bracketed with China, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, with China and the Philippines pegged to make it through the second round of the competitions.

Toroman has already gone on record to say that he expects the Philippines to make it to the knock out quarterfinals, which means placing in the top four places after the second round.

Placing first or second in our group means drawing either South Korea or Qatar, 2 teams that Gilas is very familiar with. Placing third or fourth means facing one of the Asian juggernauts immediately, like Iran or Lebanon.
